Ready to shatter the old-school corporate rules? In this powerful episode of Career Unicorns - Spark Your Joy, host Samorn Selim welcomes back Rosie Yeung, a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach, HR Leader, and Chartered Professional Accountant. Rosie, a Chinese-Canadian, immigrant, cis-het woman living with mental illness and recovering from cPTSD (complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), shares her deeply personal journey of navigating identity, assimilation, and complex trauma. In this episode, we dive deep into: The ripple effects of trauma, including gender bias, systemic racism, psychological unsafety, and gaslighting that is often baked into the modern workplace. How seemingly "good people" can perpetuate harmful systems and why traditional career advice often fails marginalized individuals. Why the problem isn't you, but it's the system, and what you can do to protect your mental health. How to anchor in your body, name your truth, and step into your worth, even when the corporate structure is working against you. The Un-Executive Coaching™ approach, a practice that sits at the intersection of social justice, trauma, and career growth. The importance of having the permission and power to name your truth. The fact that you are never responsible for someone else's bad behaviors or the failings of a toxic system.
